Good For You All Over!

Back to Top Homework Support
A quiet hour for homework is provided from 4:00-5:00PM, Monday through Thursday. At least two staff members are available to provide help and support. Often we have high school and college students volunteer as well as our own students helping each other. As children finish their homework they move on to scheduled learning activities.

Back to Top Creativity
We provide the time, place and materials to create with a variety of activities. Drama, pretend, art, crafts, drawing, and food preparations encourage children to create. The planning of special projects like haunted houses and fairs develop additional creativity skills in older students.

Back to Top Comforting
Familiar faces greet children warmly, by name, before and after school. Children need not worry about early dismissals, or whose pick up day it is with the stability of our program. Joys or worries of their day are shared. Children can depend on our routine and the fact that we will be here again for them the following day.

Back to Top Physical Activities
We limit children's time at sit down activities like PlayStation. Our TV is rarely used. We encourage indoor and outdoor movement activities like dance, sports, group games, ribbon dancing, TAE BO ©, hula hoops and jump ropes. Our 5:15PM, physical group games include indoor scooters, tug of war, rainbow tag, human bowling, and other fun activities.

Back to Top English Immersion
English is the language spoken and heard throughout our program. Through friendships, homework, and play, children practice listening and speaking in English. While children who are learning two languages are celebrated, they are also continuously guided to increase and develop their English skills.

Back to Top Multicultural Awareness
You will find clothing and cooking utensils from different countries in our play centers. Objects from around the world decorate our area. We embrace many cultures by honoring their celebrations. Many of our celebrations, traditions and art and craft projects are multicultural.

Back to Top Imagination
We offer many opportunities for mental creativity and resourcefulness. During play with friends our children use our stage, dress up clothes, puppet theatre, crafts, and more. Our well supplied centers, as well as our themes, projects, and resource materials, encourage use of imagination.

Back to Top Healthy Foods
We serve a variety of breads, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, 100% juices and low fat milk. Fresh, cold water is always available in containers children can access. Children are engaged in healthy choices through education and exploration of creative recipes. We serve a warm breakfast each morning and provide two healthy snacks daily after school at 3:00PM and 5:00PM.

Back to Top Socialization
Children quickly acclimate to our school as K-8th grade students are all here together as one family. Children eat, play, study and enjoy each other's company in many ways. Younger children bask in the attention of our older students. Children are guided to work things out with others to encourage self-reliance, prior to asking staff for help.

Back to Top Arts & Crafts
We do projects for holidays (traditional American and those from other countries). Our art and craft supply center is available almost daily for children's creative spontaneity. Come and see our "art gallery" in March as children sketch from artists' prints.

Back to Top Cooking
A warm breakfast is served each morning. After school our kitchen is used for our snacks and cooking projects.

Back to Top Traditions
It has become a tradition to celebrate many holidays, both American and International. In addition, we have our yearly fair and Stone Soup Meal. We make special dough crosses to honor our First Communion children each year. Many of our celebrations have become our own traditions.

Back to Top Celebrations
We celebrate every special occasion! Children and staff Birthdays, Communion and Confirmation, Kindergarten's end of the year, and 8th grade graduation are all special celebrations. We also celebrate traditional American holidays as well as many other ethnic celebrations.

Back to Top Safe
Children stay in our school building to enter our program. Attendance is taken as our school dismisses and our children arrive. Scheduled children are accounted for. Our entrance is locked and children are not allowed to open the door. Only persons on a child's registration form may sign to release them.

Back to Top Stable
Our Director opened our program in 1984 and is still greeting our children as they arrive each day. No matter what time school is dismissed or which family member comes to pick up our children, our program and our familiar faces are the first thing they see each morning and after school ends.

Back to Top Fun!
Come by for a visit and see our children's smiling faces!
